Abstract

Time-resolved polarization sensitive microscopy has been used to study laser-induced structural changes in graphite and tellurium. In both materials the transition from an optically anisotropic to an isotropic state, indicating the loss of crystalline order, is possible on a subpicosecond time scale.
